Because he knew he made up a gunslinger and put him in the fight. Again, Grant started this. And I'm finishing it. Yeah, and I'm finishing it. The party stepped through space and time. So, to give you a sense at home of how far he is, 195 feet away from Nestor.

I dimensioned it as far as we could possibly go from the king. It's like the opposite end of the football stadium in the opposite end zone. Forcing the Giants to give chicks. I don't care for that one damn inch. One gunslinger fell. Captain Hagen dropped prone.

But will the heroes be able to survive the onslaught of the king? Power attack. Something else awesome. The adventure continues this is so bad now I think everyone that listens to this show knows by now that I love the holiday season more than anyone in the history of time. I love it.

I love it. I love it as much as I hate those apples that I said I didn't like. Who are those apples? Honeycrisp. Don't even say the word in my house. Honeycrisp. I love it so much. And the holidays this year don't want to be a downer, but are going to be hard for a lot of people

for a million different reasons that I'm not going to get into because I don't want people to be sad while they're listening to our show, but it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough for a lot of people for a million different reasons that I'm not going to get into because I don't want people to be sad while they're listening to our show. But it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. So maybe make things easier, Apple, and not buy Charlie Brown Christmas and force us to get fucking Apple TV Plus in order to watch it on TV. It's always been free. Did that happen did that happen yes yes it started with the great pumpkin and i looked i looked away i said you know what i can watch the great pumpkin on youtube it's

not a big deal it's a great one but it's not charlie brown christmas wait oh wait continue but i have a very important question yeah would you Would you like to hear it now? Yeah, tell me now. For all of your like, oh, no one loves Christmas more than me, you don't have it on Blu-ray or DVD at least? I'm glad you brought this up. Or tape on DHS? As you know, I purchased a home last year. I moved in in January.

And so in doing so, I got rid of Dish Network and switched over to Verizon Fios. I had every single holiday special imaginable on my Dish DVR. I'd saved it for years. I would just queue them up constantly. So now I was all excited. I got, oh, yeah, all right. I got to rebuild them this year. And now Charlie Brown is on Apple TV+.

What is this? Garbage. Garbage. You could potentially purchase it from iTunes or Google or Amazon. Here's the thing, Greg. It's not about me. I'm going to get to watch it every day, every other day with my son and my wife. I'm not worried.

I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about all the kids growing up who are going to have to – they're not going to see it if their parents can't afford Apple TV. It's true. $4.99 a month. With all the streaming services out there, who wants the shitty one? Apple TV Plus. Nobody.

Who's going to spend that five bucks? Now, obviously, I would do it for Charlie Brown Christmas, but what else are you going to see? That dumb show about the news? The morning show? Yeah. That looks stupid. Ripped from the headlines.

Steve Carell. I hear the For All Mankind isn't bad. Listen, Matthew, I'm sure there's a couple of bangers on there, but for $4.99 a month. Oh, Foundation is coming out on Apple TV, right? There's some Tom Hanks thing. Is that the Tom Hanks one?

Greyhound. That's a movie. Greyhound, Greywolf, I can't remember. Well, listen, I barely watch Netflix, and I've had it for 10 years. You still haven't watched The Boys, right? Still haven't watched The Boys. I got Amazon Prime. I've never watched anything. You gotta watch The Boys. So, just to clarify,

do you have a way to watch Charlie Brown Christmas? I do, yes. Because I literally just put a DVD in my cart and I would send it to you. I appreciate that, Matthew. In the spirit of the holidays. But I only have a DVD player in my solar.

My solar. No, I again, it's not about me, but there's just going to be this whole generation of kids now growing up that aren't going to get to watch it for free. You used to be able to do it at least twice a year. I can remember

a kid, remember when it was time for the specials, all the holiday specials? And they would be like, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Bam. Special. Special. And I would just shit my pants with joy. And now there's going to be these kids with clean pants.

And it's not right during the holiday season. You know what you would actually really love, which is very anti-holiday, but also on – well, The Boys is one of them. Very, very not something you'd gather the family around to watch on christmas eve uh but the man in the high castle i think you would really like that really good right up your alley i'm sure i'm sure i would um so good really good are they still making new episodes of that or are they done i think it's done now right i think it's been around for a while i didn't watch that long because it's bad but it's done now, right? I think so. I didn't watch it that long because it's bad, but it's so good. I stopped watching after the first season.

So did I. I meant to watch the second season, but I don't watch anything. Can we bring it back to Christmas, Grant? Sure. So Christmas in alternate history, San Francisco, which is run by the Japanese after they won World War II, and the East Coast is run by the Germans after they they won world war ii and the east coast is run by the germans after they also won world war ii is not celebrated in this man in the high castle universe so we're basically we're living in in nazi times yeah so it's basically what you watch it in the

depths of january and february you don't watch it Christmas. No, but Apple is turning us into an occupied, a Nazi-occupied country. Exactly. Yes. It is a vision of what the world would look like if Apple was the only streaming service. You know, I heard that the iPhone 12

doesn't even come with a charger. Yeah, that's true. Nazis. They're Nazis. Well, they're trying to shift to the... All the Glass Cannon Network podcasts are available now on Apple Podcasts. Be sure to check out Apple Podcasts.

Leave us a five-star review. On Apple iTunes, the most important place for you to leave a review. Unless your phone runs out of juice, in which case you're fucked. You have the iPhone 12. I just don't think it's right. And during the holiday season,

especially this holiday season, they should find a way to rectify it. You get free five days. If you sign up, get out of here. So many kids out there. So many kids. Nothing. What is the most important? What does that even mean?

There's so many kids out there. If you say something dramatic, it doesn't matter. It's obviously kids. If you say something dramatic, it doesn't matter. It's honestly kids. That was what I, because when I came here for IRTA auditions for grad school in 96, I was going to, me and a couple of my friends were here and we were walking around Midtown and we walked by Letterman Studio and everything. And then someone grabbed us and they were like, hey, do you want to come see Montel Williams'

show? And we were like, sure, sure okay so they gave us tickets and so we're like wow this is so fun we're gonna see a live tv show and i told my friends it was just like all right i don't because they don't tell you what the subject is or anything so that before you go in so i said like okay no matter what the subject is i don't care i going to raise my hand immediately and I'm going to ask the question, what about the children? And it will apply. I'm going to make it apply. And, uh, that's amazing. And we went in and it was about stomach stapling and I was ready to go. I had my hand up. If you watch the tape of that episode, my hand is up the entire time. You never called on me. Pull the tape. Hold on one second. I'm logging on to the Montel servers.

Okay, they're down. Let me go to the backup. Troy, what is the lesson that you want people, and children in particular, to walk away with after having seen the special they can't see unless they have Apple TV? Subscribe and download on Apple Podcasts. Leave a review.

I don't know what the lesson is. I'm just mad, Grant. I don't think there's a lesson here. The lesson is, don't know what the lesson is I'm just mad Grant I don't think there's a lesson here The lesson is don't be so exclusive Don't put your content behind a paywall Oh my god No one wins Except the company

That's no way to succeed That is no way to succeed What lesson would children have learned had they watched it that's what i'm asking charlie brown christmas yeah well you've seen it yeah yeah i'm asking you to tell me though you'll learn about the true meaning of christmas it's not about those fancy colored aluminum trees you get the the it's about the spirit of tree you get a nice tree you get the shittiest tree it's about shittiest tree. It's about the book of Luke. Don't forget Luke.

The most religious child with a blanket in the world. We'll explain it to you. Do your kids watch Charlie Brown Christmas? Have they watched it? No. We don't do that in my house. No, they just throw batteries at the neighborhood Santa. Good night, everybody. Through batteries santa good night everybody through batteries that jd drew through snowballs at santa get it right by the way do you know when they combine snowballs at santa

you know when they threw snowballs at santa christmas time the 60s and it hasn't happened since well they won't they wouldn't bring him back after that. Santa hasn't returned to Philadelphia in 50 years. They're not going back there. They're going back there. They got batteries now. I heard they threw batteries at J.D. Drew. Don't want to go there.

Don't want to go there. I'm not going to talk about the message of that because it means something different to everyone, Grant. But it is still by far the greatest of all the holiday specials and should be watched at least a dozen times between November 1st and December 25th. Better than Rudolph?

Oh, yeah. Rudolph is... Upon re-watching, Rudolph is not... Santa is really mean. Santa's a son of a bitch. It's about bullying. It's bitch. It's about bullying. It's about getting very viciously bullied. He's also terrible to Mrs. Claus.

Santa's a dick. And then Donner. Don't even get me started on Donner. Donner has some old-fashioned views. It was a different time, Matthew. Donner wishes it was the 50s again. It was a different time. It was a different time, Matthew. Donner wishes it was the 50s again. It was a different time. And it was a different time.

And they were trying to communicate that Donner was a dick in the 60s. Did you know that Donner... You really had to ramp it up. Donner was named after the Donner party who ate each other. Is that true? No, it's not true. Actually, little known fact, i wooed my wife with the tales of how the reindeer were named yeah i thought it was the tale of the donna i thought

you just treated her like she is twisted or you treated her like donna treats his wife and she liked it sometimes i wonder if she's donna in our relationship i think she's i can see relationship. I'm just kidding. I can see that. I can see that. Remember that time? It was Legacy of the Ancients. We were recording Legacy of the Ancients, and she told you you weren't allowed to buy a book.

Oh, yeah. I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. No more books. Yeah, I mean, one more infamy. Matthew's penis shrunk two sizes that day. I bought the book. It went back inside of cover my nose with mud to tamp down my individuality.

Yeah. Well, the holiday season is upon us. The holiday season. We should all be excited. And honestly, if you do go online, you can sign up seven days for free for Apple TV+. Or if you buy an Apple product uh within 30 days you can uh get uh free for a year if it's a big big enough product so go do it make sure your children are watching that because it's a great story uh speaking of another great story how about the

story of this epic battle in the throne room oh my just as meaningful as charlie brown christmas yeah and i think we're all going to learn just as much. It was a four on four until recently. Now it is a three on four. Am I mad? No, not mad. I think you played it very, very well. There were some tactical decisions that were made on your part that allowed this to happen. By just shifting the party to the other side of the room, causing them to chase a little bit and then slow down their pursuit.

It allowed enough time to pass for you to take one of them out. And I applaud you. I applaud you for that tactic. I think we can finish it this episode, so I'm not going to waste any time. I want to get into it. Let's dive in. I think this should happen, and I think we should start by getting you guys on your heels a little bit. It is the lieutenant's turn.

You spent three points of grit there, Grant, but you got one back on the kill. Was it worth it? Evidently so. Was it worth it? Obviously, yes. Lieutenant Nutrog, the unbustable. I forgot! I forgot he was the unbustable! The Nutrog was the unbustable!

The Sober K. Where does that ability come in use for him? Someone tried to bust him once. A reminder that Nestor and Dogrit are invisible. Yes, yes, thank you. All right, here's what he's going to do nut rock uh the nut rock of legend he is going to run directly at you and get up in your business that's what he's going to do and so full round action he gets right next to uh baron doggerth Baron, Dahlgrith, Metra.

And right next to all of you is within reach of all of you. Metra is 15 feet away where he came in there. The other one. The other one is going to move 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 feet. So just inching closer. 25, 30 feet, so just inching closer. And is going to throw a rock at... Who's even visible at this point? Baron? Baron and Metro.

And eight metros. Eight, nine. Nine metros. Eight tiny metros. Eight tiny metros. He's going to miss with this rock, I'm assuming, at Baron. We'll call for vital strike just for S's and G's. Yeah, 22.

Miss. Rock. Another hot rock smashes on the wall, but now there is a lieutenant up in your biz. And it is Dalgrith's turn to end round four. What do you got? is. And it is Dalgrith's turn to end round four. What do you got? Dalgrith is going to take a five foot step

immediately next to the lieutenant. I've got this one! And he's going to attempt a combat maneuver to climb onto the giant. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God! This goes back multiple episodes. All three roles identical. Initiative, fortitude save, climb check. All natural sixes. So you might not get it, but you got a huge bonus. It's a number of the beast.

666. And are those bonuses enhanced by being invisible? That is a 40. CMD. You're up. I'm sorry, 38. You sure? 100% sure, 38.

Final answer? Final answer. You're up such a suck do it i do it i'll tell you right now his cmd is 37 that's close uh yeah i know but you. You'd have to roll shit again for that. All right, so he leaps up onto this lieutenant, and he will... He's going to draw out his blade. So that'll be the remainder of his turn, his giant's bane short sword. And so, yeah. His giant's bane short sword. So that will be his action. So he's like, I so, yeah. He's Giant's Bane's short sword, so that will be his action. So he's, you know, he's like, I got this one!

And he's going to try to take this one's attention. Round five. Anybody got any abilities that are gone after five rounds? No? All right. That would have been Captain Hagen's turn, but he's bleeding out on the ground. It's King Tytarian's turn. This is a big round here.

I am going to delay with Tytarian. Oh. And then it's Metra's turn. Ah, so Troy is continuing to play the zone defense and is trying to defend against another Dimension Door. Yeah. Beat the Celtics, man. All right.

That was a very advanced... I know. It's like, my Boston crowd's like, Fucking heat. Okay, well. Yeah. Okay. I've had some time to think about this.

Yeah. I'm not going to let you run roughshod over every one of my academy. Well, I had some time to think about this, too, and I'm going to roll to cast defensively. Okay. It's an automatic for you still, or is this a higher spell? I rolled to make sure I didn't roll a natural one. Okay. I need His Majesty, King Tytarian,

to please roll a reflex save. Oh, and you're sure about the distance, right? Yep, 100 feet plus 10 foot per level. Oh, then you're sure about the distance, right? Yep. 100 feet plus 10 foot per lift. Oh, then you're golden. 240 feet? Okay. We all knew this was coming. And I'm going to make a note that I did something different, but I'll explain afterwards.

Okay. Let me just make sure I'm all up in my business here. His Majesty, enjoy the rest of your evening. 26. That is a pass, but unfortunately you're going to have to re-roll because I used my persistent spell, Metamagic

Feet, to cast this two levels higher. Oh. So with my last 7th level spell, whenever a creature targeted by a persistent speller within the area succeeds on a saving throw against that spell it must make another saving throw against the effect if it fails the second saving throw it suffers the full effects of the spell whoa wow that's good it's good it's good matthew it's good come on if you fail it it's

over just looking to see if there's anything i have here that's going to help my reflex save. He's going to hide that in the bottom of his head in front of all of his friends. They're all going to laugh at him and spit on him. And the Eidolon's going to spit on him, too. Extra planter spit. He's got your reflexes. Better reflexes than your average fire giant. Extra planter spit.

I want a t-shirt that says that. 19. He fell into a hungry pit. Yes! We might have just saved Galarian. Yes! It's okay. It's okay.

It is? I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. I knew this hungry pit was going to be a part of this battle. I'm fine with it. You mean you're fine with it like he's going to jump right out of the pit somehow, or you're fine with it like the combat's over and you're fine with that? The combat's not over.

I'm fine with it. Okay. Let's deal with... Deal me some damage. So first things first, he takes falling damage, so this is... It's been so long since I've created a pit. How deep is the pit? It is... 10 deep is your pit?

70 feet deep. 70 feet deep, okay. So let me roll 76, right? Listen to all those... Can't you just buy 7 D6s? You have to roll the same one over and over? I rolled terribly. Only 17 points of falling damage.

You get the reflex save to half that. Okay. Fail, 17. Okay. So 17 points of damage. And now I'm going to roll. When does it? We have a roll back.

I think it eats on his turn. Or whatever. Creatures who fall into the hole take falling damage as normal, in addition to anyone with a pit, takes 46 points of bludgeoning damage each round as the pit contracts and returns to its normal size. I think we've done it on my turn. Just do it on your turn, then, because we'll keep it consistent.

Crotch! So that is going to be 15 points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. So that is going to be 15 points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. And then Metro will turn to the giant leaders around the wall. Oh, all eight of nine of them. And she will say, where is your king now? That's good.

That's pretty good. Oh, shit. And then I'll take a five foot step. And then I'll take a five-foot step. Okay, you'll take a five-foot step. Okay. I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. He's not fine with it.

That's what I'm hearing now. I get it now. I will, however, take my turn now. You know, we talked about the help I got from David Winters. Oh. Much appreciated. We have another friend of the show by the name of Vicki Moore. Vicki?

No. Vicki, what have you done? She pointed something out to me a long time ago. Now it seems like eons ago. She told me one night, I think we were out drinking after a show or maybe at a con. And then knowing that I'd probably forget, she emailed me about it the next day. Damn, Viggo. Why are you so responsible?

The DC to get out of this is pretty high. It's like 35, right? Yes, it is 35. Yes. When you're climbing a giant this size in a 10-foot pit, you can brace yourself on the walls, making the DC 10 lower.

So all those hungry pits for the giant should have been DC 25 instead of DC 30. Thanks, Vicky. That's awesome. So that's huge. A medium-sized creature can't do that, but a giant takes up the whole pit. So he can brace himself on either wall, makes it DC 25. And at seventh level, however you heightened it with your metamagic, it does not get wider. It doesn't get wider.

It's always 10 feet by 10 feet. Okay. So it's 70 feet deep. So with 30 feet of movement, if I make the climb check and double move, what are you going to do with your weapon? Actually, I automatically make the climb check. You're just going to leave your halberd sitting at the bottom of the pit? Wow.

Good. Oh, good. Yeah. Do you have an answer for that, Vicky? Climb while holding a weapon at a minus. You're bracing. I've got to move the pit. Wow. Good. Do you have an answer for that, Vicky? Climb while holding a weapon at a minus. You're bracing. I've got a brace. All right.

So you can sheathe the weapon and bring it with you, but that's a move action. Move action, sheathe, and then I will stand up. Move action, stand up. That's your round. That's my round. Okay. Here's the question. Actually, we all know the answer, right?

Has a giant ever escaped a hungry pit? One did, I think. Or one at least climbed the walls. I think one got their fingers on the top before Baron shot him in the face. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yes. Will King Tytarian be the first to ever escape a hungry pit? I think it's very possible

because he automatically makes the checks. Yeah, but it would take him seven rounds to get out. He can only move ten feet around. Double moving? Yeah. How are you figuring that? Because his speed is thirty feet. You can move half speed. You can move quarter speed. Quarter speed.

So thirty, you round down to five, so it's ten feet per round. So he's done. Take heart, Troy. By the time you get out of the pit, particulate form will be gone. That's true. That's true. And I can't recast it because that was a 7th level spell slot.

And how long does Hungry Pit last? It's forever, right? It is... No, it's not forever. It's 15 rounds. It might as well be forever. That's what I call forever in Pathfinder. Again, I'm fine with it.

It is Nestor's turn. Again, I'm fine with it. It is Nestor's turn. Okay, Nestor is... All right, this is the problem. I think he's going... He's going to go ahead and incur an attack of opportunity, but he is going to make... You're invisible, aren't you? Oh, no, you're right.

Yeah, I forgot. Thank you, Troy. All right, so he is going to do a full attack against the Slezak or one that's further away. That's Slez... Slezbok. Let me see. Yeah, Slezbok. Lieutenant Slezbok.

Okay. All right, first attack. That is a 11. That is a 36. 36 to hit. That is a 11. That is a 36. 36 to hit. That is a hit. Okay, 37, actually. All right.

This one has yet to been hit. Old Slezbok. Oh, 64 points of damage. 64 for the Slez. On the Slez. Slez Hammer. Second attack. Oh, Natty18.

Why don't you call my name? I want to be. Bow. Who says hammer? Bow. Bow. 43 points of damage on the second attack. Yes.

All right, third attack. Oh, Natty, 17 on the third. Oh, my God. On the third attack. That is a 34. That's a 34 to hit. Okay. All right.

So that's another 36 points of damage. Okay. And final attack. Hell of a round. Final attack. Miss. Amazing round. Amazing round.

By Nestor. Amazing. All against Flatfootfooted absolutely huge uh it is baron's turn baron is not invisible baron's not visible and he is also um quite far away and nester you were targeting the southern mesh tank yeah i'm like because because he was he told us, Galdrith said, if he's stuck like a limpet on one of these giants, I'm going to turn my attention elsewhere

so that he might better deal more damage to his friend. Baron is going to spend one grit point and actually two grit points and will incur attack of opportunity from the giant closest to him. So if you'd like to resolve that first, feel free. I would. Also, the rules of the game would. He's going to swing at you with a sweet, great sword. And I can't put power attack on, right?

No, it's attack of opportunity, so whatever I had on stays on. That is going to be... That's probably going to be a hit. 41. That is going to be, that's probably going to be a hit. 41. That is a hit. That is a hit. Probably. That's probably a hit. I never know with Barron.

He'll be like, you know what? Because I just did the Jim the Jam the Junior AC-42. And I just believe him. Right. All right. Damage. Ooh, there's a GCP on a D6. So 6 and a 9 to 11.

30 points of damage. Okay. As you attempt to pull away your weapon, thin layered metal rods over Baron's face from Grader Kremmer's beard. Oh, my god! Attempt to entangle the handle of your weapon. I forgot

all about that stuff! So that is a 14 on the die, so that is a 37 against your CMD. And you're using your bonus or the Tremors beard? Tremors beard has a CMD. And you're using your bonus or the Thremir's Beard? Thremir's Beard has

a CMD of plus 23. And I can use either, whichever is higher. The Beard's is quite a bit higher than mine. His CMD is 37. Oh my god! Oh my god! He is disarmed.

It's disarmed He is disarmed Oh shit This is stacked Oh my god this is so amazing I have been waiting For so Many episodes For Thremier's beard For Thremier's beard

Every time I'm in a battle I'm like what am I gonna do How do you not mention that During the whole conversation with the king? You're like, I walk in with a fucking frost giant mascot. It should be like an artifact that they would be able to see. It would be like known what this is. And they would exclaim it. They'd be like, buy Thremius Beard. Great Thremius Beard.

I'm sure the frost giants were quite offended. Maybe that's why Maja pointed out Nestor was there. Awesome, awesome move. And is that the turn? Nope, that is just resolving those 30 points of damage for your weapon, a trade I will take

any day. The full round action, which will hit against your touch AC, but will be at a minus two because you are one range outside of my increment, will be a targeted shot at the legs of this giant. I want to make him prone so that Nestor can rain fire into

his brain from a distance and he will never, ever reach us. You've taken his weapon out, so the Thremier's beard works as its own action? Yes. It's like it's an intelligent mask that's doing that. Correct. It doesn't take your standard action. As an immediate action. Got you. Okay.

However, it has combat reflexes so it will take another attack of opportunity to get you. Got you. Let's see if I can do any damage to you. This is just a slam here. Out of the box. I think I got you again. That is just a slam here. Out of the box. I think I got you again.

That is a 33. Miss. Oh. Alright, so the slam misses. Fire away. Slam goes straight by Baron's face as he aims down at the barrel of his weapon as carefully as he can. He

looks down, sees the spider, shoots at your kneecaps. Oh, not rock. This is Slesbog. This is Slesbog. Oh, you were aiming at Slesbog across the room? That's why I spent the equip point. That's a five on the die, minus two.

So that is 24 against Touch AC. That is it. Okay, so you fall prone immediately. Prone. And you will take, I'm just making sure, point blank is off as well for the damage calculation. And I turned off deadly aim for that, too,

because I did not want to miss. Dude, I know the work it takes to upkeep a gun. Tell me about it. Tell me about it. So that is 26 points of damage, and you fall prone. 26 points of damage and prone. Alright. He's still up. Well, he's not.

He's down, but he's still alive. He's still down. Unlike Captain Hagen, he lives. Hell of a round there. It is the lieutenant's turn. Let resolve uh slezbog first oh god that's such a clutch clutch move yeah um you know what no i'm gonna do nutrog first nutrog god dalgret's invisible nester's invisible and there's nine petras and baron is impossible to hit let's see where's his weapon it's impossible to hit. Let's see. Where's his

weapon? It's sticking to Grant's face. It's just sticking to your face? It's gigantic. How is your head not like clunk down his side? Do you hold on to it? Or like, that's a different disarmability. I think it just goes to the ground. It functions exactly as a disarm

combat maneuver, and does not provoke an attack from a target. Yeah, which I believe there's an extra action involved or you have to roll a certain amount to be able to grab the weapon, but otherwise disarmed just drops the weapon. Yeah, I think you're right as well. You take a greater penalty, I think,

and if you succeed on that, you take the weapon away. Because the tendrils are not intelligent outside of that one moment they come alive with a spider sense of self-preservation. So they become inanimate to snatch it, and then they go back to where they are, I imagine, seeing it. Is there a trigger for the immediate action? After being successfully hit by a melee weapon.

Were you hit by it? Yeah, it took damage. Yeah, it took damage. No, no, but you said it incurred an attack of opportunity. Do you know what I mean? You gave it a free hit. Yeah, and then it hit him. And then you hit him. No, but like, what incurred the attack? Were you going to shoot the other guy?

Yeah. I'm playing chess, you're playing checkers. No, I see what you mean, but like, I shouldn't have taken that second attack of opportunity against you. I thought you were, do you know what I mean? Why would you not take the second attack of opportunity? You slammed. Right. I understand, but you went to shoot.

That incurred. I then hit you and that triggered Vremir's beard. Right. Then you went to shoot again. Oh, yeah. You did take an extra attack. Yeah, you were just finishing your initial attack. I shouldn't have attacked you. Do you know what I mean? It didn't matter.

I didn't hit you the second time. Oh, I thought you only shot once. One time. It's a full attack, actually. I got you. Yeah, the thing, I thought that the beard was triggering the attack. That's why I took the second one. Yeah, I did not read that part.

The beard is not triggered, but it's fine. I'm just so used to Baron shooting five times around. When you said combat reflexes, I was like, yeah, go ahead. Keep hitting. Well, that's another thing. I'm generally so used to Baron shooting five times around. When you said combat reflexes, I was like, yeah, go ahead, keep hitting her. That's another thing. I'm generally trying to mix it up. I'm going to go pick up the sword and incur from Dalgrith. Because Dalgrith, you're

on me, right? Yeah. Does that incur? Yes. Okay, then you can take an attack opportunity. You're the only one with a melee weapon. I prefer to think that you're picking it out of, it's sticking straight out of Baron's beard and you're just picking it up Can I take this please Okay

Curse 31 That's a hit Nice Come on Yes Oh god So good Oh I see some numbers

So many dice That's a lot of dice Dice Molto dice It's actually pretty low Molto dice I see some numbers. So many dice. That's a lot of dice. Dice. Molto dice. It's actually pretty low. Molto dice. 32 points of damage.

32 points of damage. First time he's been hit, old nut rock. And then I will do Vital Strike on Baron. Critical threat with a natty 19 that cannot be confirmed because of particular form. Now, I think I still have to see to make sure that this would hit you. Yeah, 45. Yeah, that hits. All right, so that is a vital strike hit, which will be 66 plus 19.

And not exploding. Not exploding because it was a 19, not a 20. So that's six on the first three. And then, ooh, there's some rocks 1621 40 points of damage on the vital strike So that's 80 points This guy's dealt to Baron in this round Not just this guy, Lieutenant Nutrock

The Unbustable I'm about to bust ya That's a named character The one that was prone Will stand up And lazily hurl a rock at baron and he has precise strength uh oh that's right he's in uh thank you for us yeah i mean a natural 20 it was probably the only way i could hit either way all right actually that's gonna that's a good point. Oh, man.

He stands up, for sure. We know that much. But, you know, with you all bunched up there, Metra can do whatever. He's going to go protect his king. Is Hungry Pit the most powerful spell in the history

of Pathfinder? Well, when you're facing giants yeah that's what it is it's against giants i mean anything on the reflex save can this reflex is even that high yeah right that's anything with a like a low low-ish reflex save for our if we were just fighting an army of ninjas right then it's not as good or like cats i had forgotten like way back when I first read Pathfinder Rules. This is one of those rules why when people first start playing any TTRPG, they don't remember much because there's so much they don't know that they don't need to know. This one is catch a falling character while climbing.

That circumstance is very specific and very cliffhanger-y. And I forgot that that was an actual check, but it would be totally awesome in a game to try to catch your party members if they fell. You can try accelerated climbing, right, Troy? What is that? You can accept a minus five penalty, and you can move half your speed instead of quarter your speed. Oh, that's huge, dude. That's a game changer, because then it would still be almost impossible to fail, but almost impossible.

He's got a sick climb. Okay. Well, I'll do that. I'm going to actually delay this guy's turn. The one that Baron shot in the kneecaps and stood up. His move action happened. I'm going to delay the standard and I may end up losing it. But I'm just going to...

You can't do that. You can't move. You can ready a standard. You can't delay a standard. That's what happened to me before when I moved the process. You have to give a trigger, but otherwise you need to delay the whole turn. Okay. Yeah.

If Baron's AC drops by 20. I think. Yeah. I think you're right. I just know we've always done it the way I was suggesting, and we should. No, we never do that. I've done it as a player and in other games um but no you're right we shouldn't do that because we just did it the way that you're saying on my first turn

right because when she dimensioned toward me like i took a five foot step dimension toward me and then i didn't get you didn't act no no i know that's what i'm saying like i didn't get to act right because because of the way... Skid followed the rules. Right. All right, you know what, then? He is going to close on the party. He can only move 30 feet,

so he'll be 10 feet away from Nestor. But, you know, the good thing here is, like, Dogwrath cannot be taken out via Dimension Door. So I'm going to play the odds here and see if I can kill one of you. He has no idea where Dalgrith is. Well, there's a giant saying, there's a thing on my back stabbing me. I'll take that 50% mischance. That would help.

It's right there! I can feel it! See that blood coming out of my neck? Standard action to point. Standard point. All right, now it is Dalgut's turn. All right. This is rock and roll.

This is so important right now. This is huge. I feel an O'Brien one coming, or maybe it was meant to be. It was Zerzvato's will, and the 20's coming. Here we go. Let's see what Zerzvato and perhaps Turok have to say. How about this, my love? That die is incredible.

That was a goddamn 90-18. It just popped out of nowhere. I was very excited. Alright, here we go. Mouth all chipped. Like a deep battery out of there. First stab, 36 to hit. 36 is a hit. Nice. I'm also gonna shake it up a little bit here.

Shake it up. I'm gonna going to shake it up a little bit here. Shake it up. I'm going to forego my sneak attack damage. Okay. And I will deal 14 points of damage. Okay. And then as a swift action, I'm going to attempt a dirty trick combat maneuver. You dirty rat. to attempt a dirty trick combat maneuver.

You dirty rat. Combat maneuver check to basically use that damage to stab you in the eye and blind you. And we know exactly what his CMD is. Yes. We know exactly what his CMD is. And I can tell you right now it is, I have a slightly better than 50-50 chance. Okay.

So this is a swift action. And here we blind it. Swift action. Yep. And that is a fucking 36! God damn it! I was so excited to do that. It was very cool.

I'll give you the clue back to it. Shit. This is all, like, Dalgrace's build is all about this. I could have blinded him for multiple rounds. All right. Now I will just continue my attack as regular. So next attack is a miss. And the third attack is a miss.

Natural three and natural two. Wow. This could be Baron's life. That was the tide turning. I really wanted to blind him so he couldn't possibly do anything to Baron. And I just missed it by one point. By one point. Let's take it to round six, my friends.

Captain Hagen is dead. It is Metra's turn. Baron, how you looking on HP, buddy? 74 out of 152. Not good. That's less than half. How far up on the giant are you, Joe? It doesn't matter.

It's all the way up. Untouchable. Alright. I'm not letting you have your fun, Metra. You're going to have to make some hard decisions here. I'm not letting you have your fun, Metro. You're going to have to make some hard decisions here. It's not that hard. All right.

Metro's going to take a five-foot step and she will touch Doggerth and Nestor and... Doggerth and Nestor? I'm sorry.

Baron. Baron and Nestor. See you, Baron. See you. Let me roll the cast defensively. I automatically make it. Okay. And then I...

Wish that wasn't true. Well, I rolled a natural 17, so it wouldn't really matter. And then I will take all three of us to... Let's move Doggerth for a minute so I can grab all three. And then I will move us to the far end of the room again, not far from the Hungry Hungry Pit. Okay. And then, that will be my turn. Okay.

I'm going to go ahead and throw the Hungry Pit on the screen so we know where that box is. Keep everybody honest for reflex saves. I'm going to move us back a little bit, actually. Yeah, I think you will, too. Not that that box is there. It's King Tytarian's turn. He's going to do this accelerated climbing,

so I take a minus five, and if I hit it, I can move ten feet a success, as opposed to five. So I could, with two successes. You can move fifteen. I can move fifteen. Oh, that's right, because I was fucking rounding down. Game changer! But, it's, so it's,

so it's your bracing. Right. So it's DC 25. Right. Might as well call it DC 30. Or, DC 30. Right. Yeah, because you take a minus five to climb. Yeah. Okay. Uh as well call it DC 30. Or DC 30. Right. Yeah, because you take a minus five decline. Yeah. Okay. Dude, I got this.

Let me just flip over to Tectarian here. Yep, not guaranteed. Oh, wait. We forgot to give you damage. Yeah. Contraction damage. I'm having contractions. 17 points.

They're one round apart. 17 points of damage as the hungry pit constricts. Every point's going to matter. So hungry. Oh, God. 14 points of damage. Here we go. First climb check.

Give me a break. Get out of my face. He's up 30 feet. Oh, he's coming up faster than anyone ever asked. Yeah. Show yourselves! He's up 30 feet. Oh, he's coming up faster than anyone ever asked. Yeah. Show yourselves! Metro continues to taunt the king.

Your king has left you! I'm coming! I'm coming! No, he's not! No, he's not! I don't see him, do you? He has descended into the bowels of the earth! It is Nestor's turn. Okay. Nestor is going to focus his attention on Slesbog,

who is on the opposite side of the room now, and in his second range, and he's got a minus two on his attack. He's going to do a full attack on Slesbog. On Slesbog. Come on. Come on. Okay.

That is a... This is a big down breath. All right. 32 to hit? 32 is a hit. Okay. Huge. Please.

That is 58 points of damage. Okay. He's in rough shape. Okay. Finish him. Second attack. Natural fucking 20. And that is a confirmed critical And that is a confirmed critical.

That is a confirmed critical. Natural 13 on the confirmed. You knew it was coming from one of us. Triple dam zone. Critical. Critical. Critical. Critical.

Critical. Remember drops? Remember drops? You're all we've got. Live drops. That's all we've had during the pandemic Wow Alright

Let's go to Jeremy from Boise, Idaho Terrifying shot Your projectile flies true And strikes the target in an Unbelievably grisly manner Triple damage And the target becomes panicked Unbelievably grisly manner. Triple damage! Oh! And the target becomes panicked for 1d4 rounds.

Will save reduces the damage to double and panic condition to frightened. Either way, he's done! What was the confirm of the... Correct. It was 38. Okay. DC 38

Wills Good thing I've got Improved iron will Improved iron will I'll use my once per day To improve iron will Uh Fail

And Alright so quadruple damage Quadruple damage No triple damage Okay Quadruple damage Oh cause he is triple Yeah

Right Cause it's a bow That's right And he rolled a dash Alright that is 101 points of damage. He explodes. It's such a grisly matter! You're in a cloud of lightning and

blood. You just saved Dalgris life. Dude, dude. Oh my god. I was a five foot step away from six attacks on Dalgris with a 50% miss chance but I mean, if half of those hit crazy. Oh and it would be so

easy to hit. Yeah. It would just be 50-50. Okay. Huge. I still have two attacks left so I am going to and then pivot over to Nutrog.

Nutrog. Oh yes that is 33 to hit. Okay and this doesn't pivot over to Nutrog. Oh, yes. That is 33 to hit. Okay, and that slight difference doesn't change your range increment, right? No, that's still my second range increment. Okay. That is 34 points

of damage. Final attack. Oh, Natty19. That is... Yeah, that is, yeah, it's 35. 35 to hit. That's a hit, so all four hit. Two on Slesbog, two on Nidrog. And another 34 points of damage.

Okay. Fucking amazing. Amazing. Jeez. Huge, huge round. Oh, my God. Baron, what are you going to do? Thank God for Nestor.

I am five range increments out of the giant that Dalgrith is currently on. So Baron will reach out once more to call on Torag's aid in this defiled former home of his ancestors, though he did not know them. He will heal himself for 13 points of healing, and that is his turn. All right. Against my better judgment, I'm going to follow the often suggested route and put on Power Attack.

And try three attacks against Dalgrith at a 50% mischance. 51 or higher hits. If they hit, it'll be 3d6 plus 31 damage. 20s. Each one? Yes. What would it be without power attack, I ask you? I ask you.

3d6 plus 19. See? Wow. Power attack's great. Well worth it. Crits 19 to 20, particulate form. We'll protect you against that. All right.

First attack. 99 on the concealment. Natural one. Oh! It seems your guts have turned against you. 99. Oh, man. 99.

Amazing. Now, wait. I do get to confirm where he does have multiple attacks. Yes. We haven't played that in so long. And that is not a fumble with a 90-18. But maybe that 90-18 would have been the next attack. Wouldn't it be great if Conceal and I counted against the guy Conflorations?

Yeah, that'd be awesome. Or we had a table and was like, well, let me just look at crit 99 or fumble 99. All right, here we go. Second attack. All right. An 80 for concealment and then a 32 on the attack. Miss. Oh.

Don't miss this, bring us a monster hunter unlike anything you've ever seen. Would 36 have hit with power attack off? Yeah. But less damage. Alright, so... Oh man, it's gonna have to be real high here. 19

on Concealer. 24 to hit. Deathbringer! Stabbing with this magical greatsword and cannot hit you. An enormous round for the PCs. And Dalgrith, it is your turn. We're having fun now, aren't we?

He's just whipping around this giant, leaping from shoulder to shoulder, dodging his attacks, and then he plunges the shortsword in. All I'm rolling is trash. 28 to hit. 28 is a hit. Yes!

Beautiful. Then I'm just going to go full damage. Okay, do it. Full damn zoney. All right. Is he playing Warhammer over there? I know. 37 points of damage.

Okay. Second attack, critical threat. Yay! Wow. Does not confirm, but it still hits. That was a natty 19. Okay, explodes. God, it's so hard to do all this math.

Ooh! Oh, my God! 47 points of damage Where has this dog been? 1, 2, 3, 4, 6s Wow 2 5s

Oh my god Wow Holy shit Uh You still up? Yeah, I'm still up Alright Mass attack

Much harder to hit You've done your hasted attack, right? Yeah, I get 3 attacks Rogues, man Yeah I don't know if I get it at 15th level

or not that that fourth attack. All right, just trying to do the math. Here we go. Last attack. Now 25 to hit. No. AC 27. All right.

Damn. Still a hell of a round. I can take him out. A hell of a round. You're doing great damage. The greater invisibility obviously being the game changer. It's top of round seven and it is Metro's turn.

How tall are the ceilings in this room? I'm assuming they're pretty tall. Yes, 70 feet. Metro will cast Fly on herself. And suddenly nine Metros lift up into the air. And she spins

as she goes, addressing all the onlookers. I said, where is your kingdom? Her voice booming off the walls. And she will fly. The acoustics in here are amazing. Up into the air and come to stop right above the Hungry Hungry Pit.

Nice. Let's say about 50 feet above the Hungry Pit. Stop right above the Hungry Hungry Pit. Nice. Let's say about 50 feet above the Hungry Pit. Stop right above the Hungry Hungry Pit. Amazing. Okay. This guy just sees his angel of death come hovering over the top of the pit. Tytarian is 30 feet up. Let's see if we can make it 60.

Where is my dive? Almost failed. I have to roll a four or lower to fail. A six and a nine. Oh, wait. Let's give you your damage. Yep. Give him my damage a 4 or lower to fail. A 6 and a 9. Oh wait, let's give you your damage. Yep, give him my damage. He's 60 feet up. I mean, shitty rolls though. A 6 and a 9 and a 1, 2, 3, 4 and I wouldn't have made progress.

12 points damage. 12 points, 9 points damage. So how close to the lip of the hit are you now? 10 feet away. I'll be up next round. Actually, I'll be up next round with one move action and then still get a standard. Assuming you don't rain fire

down upon me in your turn. Yeah, ready those actions. Or delay. It is Nestor's turn. What do you want to do? Alright, Nestor, so this voice comes out from nothingness and shouts, which is right! Your missing king is a fucking wanker!

And full attack. Full attack on Nutrog. Oh, Lieutenant Nutrog. That is a 20. That's a 30 to hit. 30's a hit. Okay. So I see 27.

Wow. Okay. 62 points of damage on the mini shot. Okay. He's still up. Okay. Oh, wow. He's wavering.

Dougrith, you feel him starting to falter. He's on the waver, Duster! Shoo, shoo. Dougrith whispers in his ear as he's wavering, and he's just like, It seems your king wasn't strong enough. And that is a 33 to hit. That is a hit. 45 more points of damage.

Very, very dead. Very, very, very, very dead. And Duckworth falls to the ground as he crumbles. And there is only one giant left. How appropriate. It is the king. He's been untouched, right? Oh, no.

Hungry Pit. Yeah, he's taken a little bit of damage. It is Baron's turn. Diplomats, negotiations are off the table. It's your king's head we want now. And then he pulls out as a move action a potion. And drinks as a standard action. Glug, glug, glug.

Let's fight on the ceiling, boys. Drink a potion of spider climb. He's going to have the king have to chase him up the wall if he wants a piece of him. Oh, shit. Amazing. Oh, my God. I have one potion of spider Let me read to you what's on my sheet because I do this

religiously. I'm out of all my cure moderated cure series I have one unused medium spider venom from the beginning. Still there Oh my god The sapling rod is in the same location We haven't touched in a while

And then one out of two one one used potion of spider climb. I think it's time to use it. Amazing. All right. Did you use the other one in the combat where Lork died? I think you had spider climb in that combat. You, like, climbed up the wall. Remember?

It was in, like, the... Oh, in the temple of Virgithoa? Yeah. I thought that's where you used it. Anyway, or Skirkotl. Did you have more than one potion of spider coin? I had two on my sheet, and I had one used. That must have been the one. Alright, the lieutenants are gone.

Nutrog and Slezbog are bustable. And it is Dogwood's turn. Is that correct? That is correct, I guess. I went fast. All right, full move.

So that's 80 feet toward the king. And that'll be my round. Just gonna have to do that 10 more times to get over there. Top of round eight. How are we looking? You can run. Particular form is 14 rounds?

Oh, yeah. Sorry, Troy. You know what? I forgot could run. Do you want to run a round? The form is 14 rounds? 14 rounds. Oh, yeah. Sorry, Troy. You know what? I forgot about run. Okay. So I could run 160 feet. Okay.

Put yourself back here. Okay. Oh, that puts me right there. So Dog Wraith will run all the way up to five feet off the edge of the pit.

So 10 feet from the pit. Right. So you don't worry about rolling the way up to five feet off the edge of the pit. So ten feet from the pit. Right, so you don't worry about rolling the reflex save to see if you fall. Exactly. Okay. Top of round eight, it is Metra's turn. Okay. Oh, my God. I want to do something really cool.

Oh, no. It's not the most devastating thing in the world I could do, but it is pretty cool. Okay. So Metra will attempt to hover. Actually, no, she won't. She will ascend. So he's 10 feet down. His head is 10 feet down.

Yeah. So she'll say 50 feet above in the air. So she will attempt to hover, which is a GC-15 hover chart, and make it by one. And then I'm going to activate a bloodline ability. It's called enveloping darkness.

Oh, I love this. So Metro just ascends, like she goes into the air and hovers right above the pit. And she's screaming, where is your king now? just ascends like she goes into the air and hovers right above the pit and she's screaming where is your king now and then tendrils of impenetrable darkness start to swirl around her oh my in a 60 foot radius and basically that area is plunged into deeper darkness that only i can see through okay and anybody in that area is automatically entangled so wait just into the pit? no just 60 feet around me

so dog with two? he's not 60 feet from me is he? yeah oh you got really close I'll move then I won't stay up with Ben I'll just move over here sorry my roll 20 didn't update alright so you'll keep I'll keep my distance alright so it's centered on you?

Yeah, or I can go over here, too, whichever way is... Well, let's get an aura around you so we see what we're doing. Either way, what a horrifying thing for people to see. Yeah, seriously. Oh, my God. He will be blinded, and he will have the entangled condition. All right, so... I'm moving myself right now.

Yeah, I've got the aura on you. Can you see it? Yeah. Yeah, but if he gets out of the other side of the pit Won't that not affect him? Yeah But he's entangled Talk to me about entangled

You can still move It's not devastating It halves your speed You cannot run or charge And takes a minus 2 penalty on all attack And has a minus 4 penalty to dex. And you don't cast pelt, so that's fine. Okay, when does the entangle go away?

Like when I'm out of your thing? Mm-hmm. Or I dismiss the effect. Okay, so if he climbs up the other side of the pit, he's no longer entangled. But he's entangled on that first climb check. Yeah, but what they all see, all of these dignitaries, they see just this impenetrable, opaque darkness swallow up their king, who is just starting to reach a hand up out of the pit. Yeah, and from this Kyle, or not even a Kyle, a shadow, like a shadow.

Wait, what is your, are you Kyle? Okay. Oh, right. You're pure Kyle. Oh, right, you're pure cow. And so this shadowy witch flies over the pit and then envelops it all in pure, impenetrable darkness. Yeah, and actually half of the diplomats are standing over on this side of the room, so they're all enveloped in it, like the dwarf, the acers.

It's like that scene in Beetlejuice when the chairs come alive and they all get covered with the fingers. And you take 17 points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. 14 for the bludgeoning. Witness! Let me ask you this. So, he moves at half speed. This is actually the most important part. If he moves at half speed,

what is the max he can climb at accelerated climb? Five feet. Five feet, right? He just has to round out. So he has to use the whole round to get out now. Alright, so eleven and six.

Skin in my teeth. I have to spend the whole round to get out. He just kind of like rips himself free of the darkness on the other side. And then because I'm finishing my turn on the edge, I gotta roll another reflex save here. Yep.

Natty 19. You pass. I can see it right from there. If you wanna make them playing shenanigans. Yeah, Natty 19, and he is, you know, might as well get him a little bit close to old Dalgryth there.

No, fuck that I don't want to be near him Damn it! He's a dangerous character Alright, so he is out A giant has climbed out of Hungry Pit There you go Not just any giant Oh wait, yeah, he climbed out of the Hungry Pit

For the first time ever Now leaving himself wide open to multiple attacks from Nestor Coin Nestor Europe God, so brutal Nestor says. Nestor, you're up. All right. God, so brutal. Nestor says, there you are, my beauty, and unleashes a full attack, natural 17 on the many shots. 56 points of damage.

Okay, and what is that to hit? I'm sure it's a hit. I'm just curious what we're dealing with. It is, oh, I'm so bad. It's 42? Even higher. 40, I think 40 43 43 okay yeah oh god yes yeah all right uh second attack natural 20 oh my god i don't even have the energy to cheer for you anymore you do it so much i've spent it all uh roll to confirm. I imagine this is your second highest base attack bonus. Yeah, I don't think that's going to confirm.

That is... Yeah, it's 29. 29? No, but you do get exploding dice with that. I do. I cannot believe. I cannot believe. Esther is such a fighter, dude.

He's a fighter. This is crazy. Well, now it's going to take a minute because he's got to roll the individual die because exploding dice matters. It does. All ones. All fucking ones. Oh, no. Jesus.

All right. I wish I would have missed instead. Oh, wait. Okay, but I got two sixes on... Oh, no. Wait, no. Okay, one six. One six on the electricity.

Okay. Does that explode? No, I think that's like precision-y, fiery stuff. Okay, so that is 28 points of damage. Oh, my god. And you still have how many more attacks? I still have two more attacks. He's going to be tougher

because he's not your run-of-the-mill fire journey. Third attack is a 30, which I assume is a miss. And last attack misses. Damn! Oh! Give him a natural 3 on the confirm. remember when I said I don't have attachment

for my monsters I lied I lied to this guy he's cool man he's a pretty cool dude he's got the best name of anyone in the AP so far King Tartarian of Clan Brandrick Baron you are up Baron it's time for the Brandrick line to end

Baron will take a full attack action You are up, Baron. It's time for the Brandrick line to end. Baron will take a full attack action. They will be against his regular AC and outside of his first range increment. Okay. First attack. Natural 20. Oh my god, Baron! You guys are so phenomenal.

41 total, if it matters. It's the confirm. It's the confirm. That is going to be a 30 to confirm. Not confirm. Exploding dice. Thank God! The way he rolls damage.

I know. Times four, too. We've had so many unconfirmed crits in the past three episodes. I know. Yeah, I mean, the ACs of these guys were a little bit better, so it helped against those confirms, but you can't help against a nat 20. Oh, my God.

22 points of damage on the first attack. Okay. It's going to be a little bit lower because I have deadly aim off because I'm shooting against regular AC. I don't blame you. I didn't do that. Cracked eye, but I think it's a miss 24 against regular AC. I don't blame you. I didn't do that. Cracked eye, but I think it's a miss. 24 against regular AC.

Well, it's cracked eye, right? No, I pushed down on it. It's not a cracked eye. It looked like a cracked eye. I'm sorry. I'm speaking my thought process out loud. I'm going to spend a grip point on these next two attacks to resolve against touch AC.

Oh, boy. Okay. That is going to be a 24 against touch AC. That is a hit Oh boy. Okay. That is going to be a 24 against Touch AC. That is a hit. Nice. Okay. So many dice! Oh, Troy.

22 points of damage. Okay. And then the final attack will also be against Touch AC. Natural 20. Oh my god! Natural 20! What's in the box? What's in the box? It's in one of those fine cigar boxes.

And I'd be like, lowest chance to confirm, but it's against Touch. Pringle, Pringle, Pringle! That is a 22 against Touch AC. That is confirmed. Yes! That is such good talk.JC. That is confirmed. Yes! That is such good, Tom. So glad Baron did it.

Baron did it! So phenomenal. Phenomenal. All right, let's kick it over to, you know this guy, Jefferson Bell from Brooklyn, New York. Hey! What's up, Jefferson? This one's called the LaValle special redo.

You know exactly how you want to do this. You take it slow. Pause in the middle so you don't get up. And build to the finish. Triple. Oh, this is wild. Oh, no. And build to the finish. Triple. Oh, this is wild. Oh, no. Triple damage.

Oh, my God. Triple damage, but the target also gains plus two strength for 2d4 rounds, as if somehow it found your strike to be saving. Wow. Creepy. So triple for you is quadruple, right? No, it's five times. Oh, it's five times.

Yeah. Five times damage, but it also gains plus two strength. 84 points of damage. Tytarian Takes the bullet Buckles to one knee Looks at you Not unlike his wife

Spits blood out You small folk Curse upon this land Always have been. I was wise to keep the children away. The children of all my soldiers and all the other giant clans that have flown to my banner. And my children as well. I would not let what happened to my son happen to them

for you may kill me and you may kill my men and my women you may even kill the almighty wolf if that is your plan but the children will survive dwarf

and the next generation will remember. And years from now, when you sleep comfortably in your castles, your castles built with our riches, the children will come for you and get their revenge. The giants can never be truly slayed. And then he falls.

Dead. As he hits the ground, the other giants in the room look to each other and start drawing their weapons. Oh no. Brandishing them, the fire giants, first of all, start taking a step forward,

and then the others, gaining confidence, seeing the fire giants move forward, do the same one by one until finally Quivixia breaks the silence. Halt! Holds a hand up. Walks over to Tytarian's body. Kneels down and places a gentle hand on his face. I am sorry, my king. Perhaps we shall rule together again in the afterlife, if it is the prince's will. This battle is over.

These intruders have shown that they can defeat the best of our kind with ease. There is no sense in wasting any more lives in futile sacrifice. Zersvata has spoken. The day is theirs and our time here has ended. To you four, wherever the rest of you are. If you relinquish my king's crown to me, we shall leave Ashpeak immediately, and all fire giant clans will return to their respective homelands. You nobles here shall return to your home clans and plains as well, looking at the Aesirs. If you need assistance,

my people will aid you. I thank you for answering my king's call. But this war, this war is not ours anymore. She looks to Metra up in the air and Beren. She looks around the room to try and find where the rest of you are.

There is a tunnel behind that wall that leads to the mountain's crater where the rest of you are. There is a tunnel behind that wall that leads to the mountain's crater where the Storm Tyrant's flying castle is tethered. It's heavily guarded, but me thinks you'll find a way. There is another tunnel that leads up. Go there at your own risk if you wish to speak to the oracle.

All I ask for is this crown. She takes it gingerly off of Tytarian's head, and then she pulls a ring off of his lifeless finger. Volstis gave us these rings to protect himself should we perish. She throws them at the ground near Baron's feet. They are prisoners' rings. Oh!

The moment my husband died, he knew. And now he knows You are coming You are close And he will be prepared And we'll see you next week Oh man

Tethered to the mountains It's here It's. Tethered to the mountains. Oh, man. It's here? It's here? Tethered! Tethered! Oh, my God. The Glass Cannon Podcast is a Glass Cannon Network production and is an officially licensed partner of Paizo Incorporated. Giant Slayer is copyright 2015.
